For the Spring Summer 2013 Sonia Boyajiantakes us to an imaginary world inhabited by pirates, sailors and hidden treasures. Indeed Pirates and Sailors is the name of the new jewellery collection by the designer hailing from Los Angeles.

From the iconic chromatic triad of white, red and blue that has always been associated with the seascape, to the preciousness of gold nuances, the appeal of Swarovski, down to refined materials like fine china and blown glass mixed with felt created by Vermont craftsmen; from boating knots to the ribs in Mokuba silk. The decorative elements are only seemingly in contrast with each others, though in fact, they strike a perfect balance among the shapes, colours and textures.
